Heather is an unflappable mentor and keen collector of contacts and people. With a genuinely broad range of knowledge and interests, Heather can easily navigate from tech to classics, making her an invaluable resource for any company- small or large, tech or bricks. As an adviser and coach, she is quick to listen- and listen deeply- an invaluable quality, since most start-up founders (like me!) are so impassioned about their launch that communicating the entire value proposition in 10 minutes in a mad information dump is standard operating procedure. With a giant database of contacts, and a huge reservoir of knowledge, you could not get a better coach and mentor than Heather. I give her my highest recommendation

C.B., President, Green Our Planet
We needed support from someone who could help us stay focused on the Big Picture. I sometimes get lost in the details but Heather very much understood what our goals/dreams are and helped us stay on track in a supportive and very positive way. It was a very positive experience. Working with Heather at ROCeteer helped me understand how essential coaching is for leaders in companies. Heather figured out what our overall vision and goals are for Green Our Planet and then helped me stay focused on the big picture which involved overcoming many different kinds of hurdles along the way. It was just so valuable to have an advocate in my corner who understood exactly what we are doing and gently guided me whenever I started wandering off in the wrong direction. It was a hugely positive experience and one of the best things to happen to me in 2015! I look forward to more coaching in 2016...

I have worked with heather as a co-facilitator and have also been coached by her (which is notable in itself; not every coach can coach a coach!) I think the best way to share her impact on me is to reflect on her title, 'unicorn whisperer.' when I first read that I was confused... mystical creatures will be whispered into our sessions? no. heather's sessions are not mystical at all, they are clarifying. you are the unicorn, the wonderful creature emerging, and she is whispering in your ear as you find the path that's been calling to you, through the clutter of the world, work, money, stress. offering insights and tools with endless generosity from a deep well of entrepreneurial experience, wrapping wisdom and applicable tools together, until you feel your rare creature take off. it's all done so humbly, you have to look carefully to notice. otherwise, you may just feel yourself taking off.

Heather's experience and deep insight with the tech startup culture is a huge asset to help guide Artject. Heather deeply cares about the projects and team she mentors. Heather always brings insightful perspectives to each of our sessions. Heather is truly a unicorn because she is both a fan of art and technology. This combination is rarely found in the tech startup world. Artject is incredibly lucky and honored to have such high-profile expertise like Heather to be on board and behind our vision and mission.
